▲ 116 r/Infuriating
A man was fined £500 after putting his empty coffee cup into a rubbish bag beside an overflowing public bin
"I was outside London Waterloo railway station and was looking for a bin to dispose of an empty coffee cup"
"The only bin I could see was completely full, but there was a plastic bag containing rubbish at the base"
"I put my cup in that bag and was stopped by an enforcement officer, who had been standing at a distance watching the bin. He told me I had violated the law and refused my offer to remove my cup. He asked for my details, including my passport"
"After printing out a penalty notice, he remained in the same spot watching the overflowing bin. It seemed like a set-up"
